If the licence key on your old machine is suitable you could try to download from microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/office/downloads/

This process asks for the licence key at the start so it is worth a try

However I'm not sure if the necessary software to extract the licence key on the old pc would be frowned on on this site.

Has your workplace not retained the key?

Hmmm i will give it a try, and my company has just gone into administration! Don't think the administrators know of the laptops existence so i am keeping quiet!!!

If the laptop is the property of the company then you have a duty to inform the administrators that you have it as its an assets of the company.

"Keeping quiet" is theft, you are knowingly withholding something from its owner.

But I haven't been asked any questions of that nature, if I was I would mention it!

It doesn't matter, unless the company explicitly signed the asset over to you then the laptop is an asset of the company. You know that the company is administration and thus you know that all assets of the company belongs to the administrator.

Therefore you have to inform them of this asset.

Depending on its worth they might let you keep it or buy it for a nominal amount.

Ok, thanks for letting me know!

The software will probably then be on a corporate licence.

OP, if you had a company car, would you 'keep quiet' about that, and hope that the administrators didn't notice?
